Not Yet! I tried pixave once and maybe will try it again.

Hi! I am wondering if there would be a nice DAM on Mac/Ipad that could handle the afphoto files. Does someone has any idea about this?

But I will give you some Information for bug testing as you listet in Bug Reporting. 1) I updated to the newest release version from version 1.7.1 2) It was reproducible until deinstalling updated version and reinstalling 1.7.2 from apple App Store. 3) It was happening on a new document after doing frequency separation. with each newly added layer it slowed down more and more 4) Operation System: iPadOS 13 Beta 5 After opening developing the 4000x6000 pixel raw file and applying frequency separation AP slowed down more and more with each additional added layer. I have had expected that this would not happen because in the last RC it didn't happen. And after deleting AP and reinstalling AP 1.7.2 from App Store the problem didn't showed up again. I hope this helps to evaluate the problem.

Hi GabrielM! I am not realy sure that it is a bug. It only happened after I did the Softwareupdate from the previous version 1.7.1 to the actual 1.7.2 version. As I added after deleting the app and reinstalling it completely from App Store this didn't showed up again.

found the problem already. it was a glitched happened by update from 1.7.1 to 1.7.2. After destalling and reinstalling form apple store all is working fine now. I haven't tested if TIFF export with affinity layers would work too.

I just mentioned a very strange behavior of the newly released 1.7.2 Version. The more layers I added it became more and more laggy. I haven't had this behavior on the last RC Version. So what have you done to slow down AP in release again.

I am sorry to post into this topic again. But obviously it haven't helped to log this with your developers. I have just tried it with the new 1.7.2 release and it crashed again after some minutes trying to create an Tiff (16bit RGB) export. It starts to be frustrating to report this issue again and again and do see any changes or even to don't see it solved.

ok. will remember on it. I hope this issue will get solved before final release.

Hi Gabriel! I did the complete beauty retouching like listed in the AP Workbook. 1. komplete RAW Development 2. Frequency Separation with Layer Grouping and rep. brush 3. new pixel-layer skin tone with color brush and gausch blur 4. new pixel layer for lights recovering with color brush 5. dodge/burn layer with 50% gray filling and dodge/burn with dodge/burn brushes 6. duplicated details layer set to 25% 7. new pixel layer filled with 50% gray and with 25% noise within new group 8. new pixel layer for new lipp color and Gaus blur 9. new pixel layer for eye makeup and also with gaus blur 10. new pixel layer for eye brows with gaus blur 11. new pixel layer for eye optimization with gaus blur than taking visible together to one combine layer for sharpening (masking) one new layer for lights correction, midtown correction and shadows correction when finished resize picture to 40x60 cm and than documents --> export --> tiff 16 Bit (16 bit RGB) with LZW or ZIP compression. The issue should already be mapped with the dev team with an sample picture with layers in an other post to this topic. I have reported this already for the previous Release candidate but it didn't got done yet it seems. Here the link to the other post: where you replied to have it logged to the Devteam Gabriel. Sorrily it seems that they haven't corrected this issue yet.

AP crashed again during creating tiff 16 bit Export with LZW compression Trying to export a huge file with a lot of layers to tiff with layers also still crashes with zip compression. Please correct this before releasing it.

My first Test of the new RC of AP was very pleasing. Workflow is running very smoothly even within Groups an with a huge amount of layers. Very nice job! Well done!

Well i eddited the picture in c1 and exported it as unkompressed 16 bit tiff to AP. There i added one layer for inpainting. As i tried to export with both layers PSD Size 350 MB and TIFF about 700.

I just mentioned that the Size of the exported picture uses as PSD only the half size of the resulting TIFF file. There wasn't changed anything so same picture (40x60cm, 2 layers). As Tiff file it would have up too 700 MB and as PSD it only takes about 350 to 370 MB. Is there any explanation why this is so???

you also could use a apples Own DAM, the Fotos app.

Yeah I read it. the other thing is that AP needs more and more RAM the more huge layers with a lot of information you add and keep visible. And when memory runs low AP starts to move to and get from disk what slows down. I found today a lil bit of workaround for this problem When finished one adjustment layer merge visible layers and only keep the combined layer as huge active layer. that reduces the memory fingerprint and speeds AP up.
